Centauri A is a first magnitude star, and B, a second magnitude star, possibly 3 d magnitude, seen from 4.2 light years away. Both brighter, about as bright as Venus and Mars near their brightest, as seen from Centauri c = Proxima. A and B would always appear close to each other, and very rarely would appear to merge (for weeks to months) from Proxima, I think.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
